H&M Magazine: Summer 2012

Shoes, Patrizia Pepe. Trousers, DIY

Thank you hubby for helping with the shots

Next time you’re out shopping for a pair of scarf-print trousers, you know, with dodgy stitching and a waistband scrimped out of an old pair of jeggings, I recommend you pop into H&M and pick up a copy of the summer issue magazine. Then come home, dig out an big old scarf, and give your sewing machine (or mum) a good rattle. I personally was like this through the entire procedure but I promise it was a lot of fun. Best bit? Use the leftover fabric to do Erica’s (of the emporium that is Honestly…WTF) satchel DIY that’s on the other side of the spread. I’ll pop the full DIY up live next week, so go dig up a big scarf in the meantime!

This is INCREDIBLE Shini. I’ve been scarf print dreaming ever since I tried on those Celine trousers in Paris. Holy moly. You look like you’re in Marrakech or something! Just imagining you need a VERY long/wide scarf. Can’t wait to hear more details on how you did this. Can you reveal what the measurements of your scarf were? Wait, I’m not sure why I’m even asking… I don’t have the skills to pull this off. Could possibly persuade my Momma to make it for me though… mwaaahahahha (best evil laugh). xx

I really do need to muster up enough courage to attempt some DIY of my own. This result was fabulous, but I can’t help but feel as if all I could accomplish is a floor scattered with detrimented cloth.

Ooh sorry if it’s not very comfortable – I actually made the change because I don’t really want my blog to look like a traditional blog – where you only really see the latest post. If you’re not following via Bloglovin’ or an RSS feed then I do recommend changing your bookmark to http://www.parkandcube.com/blog/ which is the classic view.

I saw your DIY in the H&M magazine about a week ago and it seemed just perfect for the weather in Poland at the time. And even though the heatwave is over (well, just for now), I’d still fancy a pair of such pants!
PS. By the way, I love the new design of the blog!

H&M magazine, thats cool, I wonder do they have it in every country or? I love reading about amazing DIY although I seldom do them myself. I usually admire all the creativity and imagination :) love the idea of scarf pants, everything is scarf-looking this season, and I hope the trend will continue :)

[…] even more flattered that it was featured alongside a rad DIY by one of our favorites Shini Park of Park & Cube. Stop by your local H&M for a bag, pick up a copy of their summer issue, and DIY your own […]
